Overnight Refrigerator Chia Oatmeal


This really can't get much better or easier! No cooking at all, just dump it in, shake and stick it the fridge overnight! 
I have been playing with this recipe for a while tweaking it to my liking. It's so easy and good. You can really get creative with this. Healthy breakfast to go.  Protein, Fiber and tons of vitamins and nutrients! WINNING!


  • 1/4 cup uncooked old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup coconut milk 
  • 1/4 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons dried chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup chopped fruit or enough to fill jar
Optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract if you are using regular milk or almond milk
  • Instead of honey you can use stevia or  maple syrup. Honey is just my go to sweetener.
  • You can use regular whole or skim milk and even almond milk. Coconut milk brings that extra flavor I love. 
  • I don't always add the Greek yogurt. If I don't, I use 3/4 cup of full fat coconut milk instead. MMMMM
  • All organic ingredients when possible please.
In a half pint (1 cup) jar, add oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, honey and fruit. Put lid on jar and shake until well combined. Refrigerate overnight or as long as 2-3 days. Eat chilled. YUMMY!!

Add whatever fruit you desire. Add coco powder for a chocolate version. Theyummlife.com has some great recipes if you don't feel creative. This is where I discovered this amazing breakfast recipe.
